The kit comes with the boost control solenoid and a boost pressure sensor. It comes with 2 cords - 1 from the power fc to the pressure sensor and one from the solenoid to ???? Where does the plug on this go to or do your have to wire it in somewhere??

This is on an R33 gtst.

Cheers

Ive never seen these units and have allways assumed that you can buy the boost kit with the pfc and it can be controlled by the hand controller.

On the other hand if i am wrong and you do have a separate heads up display/boost controlling unit,just like when you buy the boost controller on it's own,allong with the pfc then the in cabin display unit could be what the cable is for.

How long is it?

Try it out and see if the car will controll the boost.Start with it off,test it.Then have a go with it on but with everything on zero,test it then if all's well on in go in small increments ra!ra!ra!.

On the other hand disregard what i have said.:P

Craved - No, the plug does not plug straight in, tried that first - but thanks anyway.

Trust33 - I have brought the proper kit for that model power fc and yes boost is controlled by the handcontroller, but it is the wire from the solenoid that I am trying to work out. The cable is about 100cm, not long enough to go through the firewall unlike the MAP snesor cable whcih plugs into the power fc unit itself.

I am thinking that maybe it is supposed to be rewired and hooked up to the factory solenoid plug....

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
